I checked in a change to have the default capture length be
MAX_PACKET_SIZE (65535) rather than MIN_PACKET_SIZE (68); at least
around here, we're often interested in the topmost-level payload, and
want to see it all - most other capture programs also default to
"everything" ("tcpdump" being one of the few exceptions I know of).
